Nikon rumored to announce a new Nikkor macro lens (probably 60mm)

By [NR] admin | Published: December 1, 2017


A week ago I reported that Nikon is rumored to announce a new macro lens. The potential candidate for a replacement could be the AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED lens which was announced back in January 2008. I was told that this upcoming lens was the reason for the delay of the Nikon ES-2 film digitizing adapter set – Nikon wanted to ensure that the adapter will be compatible with the new macro lens.

The Nikon ES-2 film digitizing adapter set is recommended to be used with the AF-S Micro-NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED lens. The adapter can be used with a few other lenses as well:

The new Nikon ES-2 film digitizing adapter set for the D850 delayed until March 2018

By [NR] admin | Published: November 29, 2017



Nikon Japan released an update that the new Nikon ES-2 film digitizing adapter set ($139.95) for the D850 will be delayed until mid-March, 2018. The adapter will let you scan film at 45.7MP:

“The ES-2 is a Film Digitizing Adapter that lets you easily convert your film images to digital. Taking advantage of the high-pixel count of the D850’s 45.7 MP, the Film Digitizing Adapter lets you convert both 35mm slides and negatives to digital files. Using a lens such as the AF-S Micro NIKKOR 60mm f/2.8G ED attached to the D850, the camera’s digitizing function automatically reverses the colors and stores them as JPEG images. This once time-consuming process involving a film scanner can be done much more quickly. For negative strips, use the FH-4 Strip Film Holder with the ES-2 and for slides, use the FH-5 Slide Mount Holder with the ES-2.” (Nikon)

Nikon ES-2 pre-orders: B&H | Adorama | WEX (UK)

The Nikon ES-2 film digitizing adapter is compatible only with the D850, for other cameras you can use the older Nikon ES-1 model.
